Hi there,
Thank you for playing my game.
The issue with the girl stat pages was a different bug in 0.1.3c, the tempest bug was fixed in 0.1.3e which is not now attached to the main post. (You were right, I did list the missing } as the bug that was fixed, maybe I made the same mistake twice. Either way thanks for pointing it out).
1. The idea here is that part of his payment for working is the rent being paid on the home he lives in with his sister. It's maybe not worded in the best way in the game but the idea behind this is that the rent is paid for by part of the work without exchange of money.
2. The sister does indeed manage her own food; I feel things would become a little tedious for the player to have to manage the sister’s food needs.
The reason the MC can steal the sister’s sandwich is as a last resort in case the player has no money and no food.
The reason only the girls eat cakes is that they are not eaten for their nutritional value but as a treat, the player would gain no benefit from eating cakes and so has no option to. I mean I could add the ability to eat cakes, but I feel that would probably lead to bug reports about eating cake and not reducing hunger values (the cake is a lie).
3. I did toy with the idea of time being different in the Plaza dimension, however I felt that if there was some difference in the way time passed in the dimensions this would lead to characters who spent a lot of time in the plaza being older or younger than they should be in the Earth dimension.
The reason learning the heal spell took time, is because from a lore perspective the player was not only learning to cast the heal spell, but to also learn how to use magic.
The reason only a handful of activities pass time, is that I did not want the game to become too tedious. With that, only a few activities pass time, such as working. This allows the player to build relations with every (available) NPC each time block before then making the choice to perform an activity to pass time and then be able to build relations again in the next time block. I could add time passing to more activities, but with friendship and love decaying over time if NPCs are not interacted with, this would be a significant negative once the MC has built relations with a lot of NPCs. It would likely become a puzzle of which NPCs do I need to interact with today to not cause decay.
4. The sister not being in a room that she is shown to be in is a bug, I will look into this.
I hope this answered everything you were looking for
